Miss Texas headed for 2011 Fair

Miss Texas will be mistress of ceremonies for the 2011 Miss Rockdale Fa ir Queen pageant, set for 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, in the Rockdale High School auditorium.

She will also entertain during the pageant and will return the following weekend for other fair events.

There will be two pageants Oct. 15. The Fair’s children’s pageant is set to begin at 11 a.m., also in the auditorium.

Friday is the deadline to enter the children’s pageant.

MISS TEXAS—Morris, who represented Frisco while winning the Miss Texas Pageant this summer, is an Ennis High School graduate and is attending Texas Christian University, majoring in journalism with an emphasis on broadcasting.

A twirler with the TCU Band, she has twirled at the Super Bowl, the Tournament of Roses Parade and two nationally-televised bowl games.

Morris has also appeared on an episode of the MTV series “Made” and was an extra in a Chuck Norris movie.

A versatile entertainer, she can play three instruments and can baton twirl, play the piano and hula hoop at the same time.

But her talent performance at the Miss Texas Pageant was as classical as it gets. She performed Dvorak’s “New World Symphony” on the piano.

TICKETS—Miss Rockdale Fair Queen contestants, and a number of local businesses, are now selling Fair tickets.
